For only the second time in history in New York, three of Cunard's "Queens" met within the harbor at the same time. This event, called the "Royal Rendezvous" highlighted activities involving Cunard Line's Queen Mary 2, Queen Victoria and the new Queen Elizabeth.
The Queen Elizabeth had her Maiden Call to Manhattan during this span of activities, which was an exciting first for the line. Other activities included the ringing of the closing bell at the New York Stock Exchange, the lighting of the Empire State Building in Cunard "red", as well as a tremendous fireworks display by Grucci over the youngest fleet at sea in New York Harbor.
